I've known Aftershot since it's Bibble days and followed, when it was bought by Corel and renamed Aftershot. It shows when my hunt for a Capture NX2 replacement took place! I'm terrible sorry for my outdated remarks above! I suppose, when you come right down to it, I like Photoshop a little better than PaintShop but it's a close call for most actions and if a person is using Photoshop Elements they'll find PaintShop quite a bit more advanced and feature rich.Īnyway, everyone is different and other commenters are right, Lightroom and programs like PaintShop or Photoshop are not intended for the same purpose.

#COREL AFTERSHOT PRO VS LIGHTROOM UPGRADE#

Just upgraded to X8 Ultimate a couple of months ago because Corel offered a very inexpensive upgrade from version 7. I've never cared for Lightroom but do use both Photoshop and PaintShop Pro. Not sure where Janoch is getting his information. A new version of Paintshop comes out just about every year. Version 2 of Aftershot came out in spring or summer of '14 and is frequently updated. very, very little have happened for years, if anything at all! I didn't get along with LR's photo cataloging aspect either - it was just not what I was used to - so I moved on.Īftershot is 'dead'. I haven't used Lightroom since v3.6 but it had pretty great image tools and it's RAW development was excellent albeit slow I would consider it to be a gold standard against which other programs are judged. I'm not really happy with it's photo management aspect, I still use Picasa for this function (for now.).

I have used both Aftershot Pro 1 and 2 for RAW development, and it's good enough but nothing really special the controls remind me of RAWTherapee for some reason. I use PaintShop Pro 7 instead of Photoshop it's cheap and it does what I want it to do but it's more directed towards 'photoshopping' - digitally adjusting photos, fixing blemishes and removing power lines, creating art with layers, etc it's not a good photo cataloging/management program IMO.Ĭorel has Aftershot Pro that is a direct competitor to Lightroom - they are both RAW developers that feature photo collection management and cataloging. I then move the keepers to a permanent home and eventually delete the others when the temporary drive gets full.I don't see PaintShop Pro and Lightroom as being the same type of program one is for image manipulation, the other for RAW development and photo cataloging - perhaps I'm wrong, though? In my current workflow, I put the shots on a temporary drive, then review and grade them. Girish, do you use Luminar to review and sort your images after a session, and if so, how do you do it? I will have to make minor changes to my folder system, otherwise Luminar will show me RAW, converted JPG's, in work files and final edits (of different sizes) all mixed in together without the filenames to differentiate them. I'm also a little bothered that it doesn't show me the filenames clearly and that it mixes the contents of a folder and it's subfolders.

That would probably become less as I learn how to use Luminar.

#COREL AFTERSHOT PRO VS LIGHTROOM PSP#

I think I would find myself doing less bitmap editing in PSP, maybe just bringing an image into PSP to polish it off and do some things I can't do it Luminar. I cannot see it replacing LR Develop module though, maybe it is because I used Lightroom from version 1 and I am so used to it. I will play with it a bit more to see if I would use it at least as much as I use Nik (occasionally). I added one and then the export back to Lightroom took a very long time. And it even has layers although I don't know yet how useful they are.

I had a quick look, it seems very powerful, lots of options. Solution is to have another subfolder for RAW, so I only see the files I want to see. My subfolders are 'converted' 'In Work' and 'Edited', which I don't want mixed in with my original RAW files. No way to change this as far as I can tell. Color wasn't quite right, but one of the treatments helped.īiggest issue for me seems to be the way it looks at folders it will show you everything in the subfolders as well, which I don't want to see. The application comes with several dozen skies to use, but not using my own image for that feels like cheating to me, so I used one of my own. Used Luminar to adjust and paste in a new sky. I was really disappointed after a long hike and climb, the formation I wanted to photograph was severely backlit with a boring flat blue sky.īest I could do on a similar shot from the same set, but without the glare on the right.

I edited a shot I took in Palo Duro Canyon in January.
